Saying that everyone is going to die is really helpful 😄 Perhaps people should vent their anger at the nobheads who are still using the tube like this. It's this selfish "I'll be OK" attitude that will result in more stringent restrictions being put in place. Why can't more people think about the bigger picture and other people rather than not wanting their own lives impacted. But if their work still expects them in then what are they to do? This isn't those people's fault.

medium.com/@greenrupertread/the-coronavirus-letter-youve-just-been-sent-by-johnson-is-a-lie-transcript-824e71aa73bDr. Rupert Read The coronavirus letter you’ve just been sent by Johnson is a lie [00:00:00] Fellow citizens of this great country of Britain, I’m here to tell you that you’re about to be deceived deliberately by your own government. [00:00:11] A letter will soon come through your door from them, telling you that unless you get more serious about locking down, the government is going to tighten the lockdown that we are all under. They are trying to put the blame on you for this public health disaster of the Coronavirus and for the lockdown needed, it is indeed needed, in response to that disaster. In the letter, Prime Minister Johnson says, quote, “From the start, we, the government have sought to put in the right measures at the right time”. [00:00:42] The truth is very different. The truth is that the government have, for two months, systematically flouted World Health Organisation advice on how to deal with this pandemic and that in some respects they are still doing so now. [00:00:58] My name is Dr Rupert Read, a few weeks ago, I coordinated a letter; a version of which was published in The Daily Mail. It was signed by the editor of Britain’s foremost medical journal, The Lancet, and by the former chair of the House of Commons Science Select Committee. Now the government should have acted well before receiving our letter. They should have moved already to stop flights coming in from Italy and China. They should have quarantined those possibly having the virus. They should have ordered in ventilators and personal protective equipment for carers. They should have begun a mass program of testing. They should have provided enough to live on to all those tempted to work sick. But even after receiving a letter and even after being told firmly by the World Health Organisation that they were letting everyone down through their inactivity, they still did virtually nothing. [00:01:50] Now, of course, I’m not saying that dealing with this virus crisis is easy. Far from it. I don’t envy the governments and their advisers in their unprecedented task here. But the unprecedentedness of the task is exactly why we needed them to take strong action to protect us and to stay ahead of the curve and exactly why you deserve honesty from them now. The truth is, we didn’t get what we deserve. We didn’t get strong action to protect us. Instead, they wasted weeks on end and then cooked up their utterly disastrous herd immunity plan to infect most of us with this sometimes-deadly disease. And we’re still not getting honesty about all this now. The government are not telling us the truth about why a harsher lockdown may be needed. [00:02:44] South Korea came through this with no lockdown at all because they acted fast ahead of the virus to mass test, to contact trace, to physically distance. Think about that. South Korea showed the way. The difference between them and us; government policy. [00:03:05] The truth is that a hard lockdown is needed now, not for the reason the government is insinuating; they’re trying to blame us, the people, for the mess they created. Do not let Johnson get away with putting the blame for this horrific crisis that we’re now in, on you. The truth is that they, the government, are primarily to blame for the tsunami of infections and the torrent of deaths that Britain is still at the relatively early stages of. They, the government, have not done their first job. They have not protected us. A well-placed source has indicated to colleagues of mine that the Chief Medical Officer was ready some time ago to put in place tougher measures for physical distancing and so on and that these were vetoed at the last minute by the Prime Minister. A Prime Minister who showed leadership by shaking hands with hospital patients in a hospital where they were Coronavirus cases just a few weeks ago. [00:04:06] Now, if you happen to be someone who has privileged information that you could use to blow the whistle on the full truth about what our own government has done to us, then please go to www.truthteller.life. We all deserve to know the full facts. [00:04:26] We the people have led in this country and we’ve dragged our reluctant government behind us. That’s the truth. We led by pushing the government finally to act. We led already before that, many millions of us, by cancelling events, working from home, initiating physical distancing, before the government had done anything significant to protect us. And we’re leading now by being there for each other, by supporting our beloved NHS and by demanding that our carers get the personal protective equipment they so desperately need and deserve. We refused to go quietly and meekly into the tsunami of suffering that is coming, a torrent of death that is coming because our government fiddled while the world started to burn. And because for a while, our government’s ludicrous and deadly herd immunity plan meant that we had the most inactive and indeed actively harmful government policy in the whole world on the Coronavirus pandemic. [00:05:29] Why does all this matter? Am I just crying over spilt milk? It matters because thousands are dying unnecessarily and it matters because we’re still only at the relatively early stages of this emergency and we’re going to need much better leadership to get through it. We will get through this, though not before the government’s prevarication has cost large numbers of British lives. We’ll get through this together. And when we got through it, we’ll memorialize the dead by making damn sure that nothing like this deadly fiasco can ever happen again. And to make sure of that, we’ll need to start with a full public inquiry into how our government came to have the worst policy of inaction on Coronavirus in the whole world; a policy that will have killed many of our loved ones. A policy that means that a harsh and knock-down lockdown may indeed now be necessary. [00:06:27] It is government policy which has led to the desperate situation we are now in. If a fuller lockdown comes, this will be because they did not act and they must take responsibility for that. They must take responsibility for the need for any harsher lockdown soon to come. [00:06:52] Thank you for watching. If you agree with this video, then please share it. And please stay safe. When the government doesn’t protect, we the people have to lead the way. He appears to be advocating that we ignore government advice and do our own thing naively thinking "we the people" will all act as one in the most sensible manner possible. Really? The government have made some mistakes but everyone ignoring them and doing their own thing has got to be the dumbest idea yet. Comes across as an attention seeking knobhead miffed that his letter to the "Daily Mail" (?) has been ignored and he isn't the one on the telly leading the nation to safety. Shitbin?

Why can't more people think about the bigger picture and other people rather than not wanting their own lives impacted. What if the majority are “key workers though? When you go from a service every 5 minutes to one every 15 in a city the size of London that will be the outcome. As I stated earlier in the thread, black cabs should be utilised to take NHS workers to and from their place of work to distribute the numbers more evenly.....

They did ignore WHO guidelines that they are now following and would have undoubtedly saved lives. I don't see why that's so hard to accept?

Is that now 3 weeks since the lock-down in Lombardy began? 8th was lockdown... I think... I've lost all bloody track of time and days in all honesty! Still waiting for Italy figures though. And I am still always dubious with the new cases due to how they calculate them and it's dependant on who they test, how many they test and why they test. I refuse to get any hopes up until I see a week's worth of solid trend. 3 days ago was the highest death toll and I think 5 days ago was highest amount of new cases in a 24 hour period.

The only white space this bloke has an affiliation to is between his ears, I think. I wonder if he has a political axe to grind Judging by the picture, I don't think I'd like to trust him with an axe.

He appears to be advocating that we ignore government advice and do our own thing naively thinking "we the people" will all act as one in the most sensible manner possible. Really? The government have made some mistakes but everyone ignoring them and doing their own thing has got to be the dumbest idea yet. Comes across as an attention seeking knobhead miffed that his letter to the "Daily Mail" (?) has been ignored and he isn't the one on the telly leading the nation to safety. Shitbin? As soon as he mentioned ignored WHO advice, I didn't bother reading I clocked out with 'tsunami of suffering' and 'torrent of death' in the same sentence, talk about hyperbole, people are trying for goodness sake, we won't get everything right but I'll bet we do better than most if not all liberal democracies when the counting is done.

Deaths have gone back up in Italy. 812 today.
Big drop in new cases...
Edit. The numbers changed. Increase of new cases by almost 1000.

Interesting take here linkThe conclusion appears to be that if the Chinese government were to crack down on wet markets (as you suggest) it would drive the trade underground and make cross species contamination more likely as part of the food chain would avoid regulation. This makes sense - no authoritarian regime has ever been totally successful and whenever a government tries to ban something people have a habit of working round it. It's a bit bizarre to blame China for not being authoritarian enough when being authoritarian actually causes the problem you are trying to stamp out. Maybe the solution would be to invite China to take up the place we've vacated in the EU to help bring China's food standards up to scratch while we suck up to the US in exchange for some chlorinated chicken. What's not to like? So then you take them on, head on. I wasn't blaming them for it, just saying it was curious, which it is. Their whole take on the environment and animals has to change though, it's so damaging. And we have to think about that too. Climate change is going to be a massive issue and we have to make changes. I've made my standpoint on the Americans food hygiene, I think it's disgusting and their whole system in general. Why anyone would want to align themselves with them I do now know. I think we agree on the need to address climate change and American food standards. Keep off the pangolin and stay safe.

Now I know I won't incur your wrath, I'm off to halfords to get that bike Save your money and go to a proper shop. Proper bike shops aren't open. Halfords is. Pains me to have to buy a bike for a 6 year old when I used to work in that industry myself. I have a garage full of bikes, scooters and cycle accessories but none in the size that would be suitable for my little one. Very annoying to say the very least!

I've bought a couple of bikes and a few odds & sods online from these, and always got what I thought was a fair deal.... Rutland link

I can understand about the animals, but the environment is one area they are taking big strides to change isn't it, vast projects to move to clean energy and regreening deserts etc. ?

Are they not still operating, or even local to us down here Swynertons or Rourkes?

I've had to edit my post, they announced wrong numbers. New cases up by almost 1000 compared to yesterday and deaths higher.
